The Art Barn

This morning Maisie and I met up with Kathy & Chani at a cute little place called The Art Barn.   It’s a little farm with lots of animals that the children can pet and a barn where they do little art projects.

Maisie wasn’t feeling 100% today as she had been up numerous times during the night as her nose was completely stuffed up and she just had difficulty breathing.   Maisie had a decent day and did her best not to be overly moody and miserable but had she slept better I think that she would have had an even better day. 

After their time at horseback riding camp I wasn’t surprised that both girls gravitated to the horse and grabbed some brushes to groom him.

Maisie sporting her new demonic smile.  Lately every time I ask her to smile she shows me this evil grin.  Chani of course is just looking sweet.

After time in the barnyard we took a little tractor ride around the farm.

Followed by time in the art barn where the girls made watercolor paintings of a rooster.  The girls enjoyed their time at the farm but after petting the animals, going on the tractor ride and doing their art project they were thirsty, hungry and done.  So we headed out for some lunch and then we went back to Kathy’s house where the girls played and Kathy and I relaxed and chatted.  It was a nice day with friends.
